Umtauschbriefe
For several years I have been dealing with the classic question, Who am I? Where do I come from? What is the „package“ I am born with? In the course of these questions, I created the work „Father Triology“
„Exchange letters“
On a rather tragic occasion (he got a stroke), I came across his exchange letters from 1972 to 1986 while reorganizing his buisness and home.
„Silvester – same procedure as every year“
This work is based on my father’s unbroken desire to document our New Year’s Eve fireworks and got created for a photo installation running in a loop.
„Cowboy“
My father’s life was shaped by his time in Texas and Mexico in 1963. As children, we grew up not only with the slides from that time, but also with a certain attitude towards adventure; always ready for the experience.
He loved campfires, building huts out of found objects and, if possible, wearing a cowboy hat and boots. My father introduced me to his cameras. This 3rd part of the work is a thank you to him for seeing and doing things differently in life. Merci Papa!
The work consists of archive material as well as photographs from 2004–2021.
